Answer:

The answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For a poisson distribution, the variance is equal to the mean. Since the average number of defects per product is 2, it means that the mean per product is 2. Hence for 32 units it is 16 divided by 2 which is 16.

Also, since the square root of variance is equal standard deviation, the square root of 16 is 4.

What is the solution set of y = x2 + 2x + 7 and y = x + 7? A. {(0, 7), (-1, 6)} B. {(0, 7), (-7, 0)} C. {(0, 7), (1, 8)} D. {(-2
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If

y=x^2+2x+7 AND

y = x + 7, then by the transitive property of equality:

x^2+2x+7=x+7

We can solve for the values of x by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and then solving for x:

x^2+x=0

We can factor out the common x to get:

x(x + 1) = 0

which tells us by the Zero Product Property that either

x = 0 and/or x + 1 = 0 and x = -1

We are expecting 2 solutions for x since this is a second degree polynomial.  We will sub both -1 and 0 into y = x + 7 to solve for the corresponding values of y

y = 0 + 7 so

y = 7 and the coordinate is (0, 7)

y = -1 + 7 so

y = 6 and the coordinate is (-1, 6)

A paper clip is just over 4 cm long. How many paper clips like this can be made from a straight piece of wire 10 meters long?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

25 Paper Clips

Step-by-step explanation:

100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).

100/4 = 25

So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.
